Provides a managed view of loaded types, methods, and fields. Enables you to create and invoke types dynamically.

Classes

  Class Description
Public class Assembly Represents an assembly, which is a reusable, versionable, and self-describing building block of a common language runtime application.
Public class AssemblyCompanyAttribute Defines a company name custom attribute for an assembly manifest.
Public class AssemblyConfigurationAttribute Specifies the build configuration, such as retail or debug, for an assembly.
Public class AssemblyCopyrightAttribute Defines a copyright custom attribute for an assembly manifest.
Public class AssemblyCultureAttribute Specifies which culture the assembly supports.
Public class AssemblyDefaultAliasAttribute Defines a friendly default alias for an assembly manifest.
Public class AssemblyDelaySignAttribute Specifies that the assembly is not fully signed when created.
Public class AssemblyDescriptionAttribute Provides a text description for an assembly.
Public class AssemblyFileVersionAttribute Instructs a compiler to use a specific version number for the Win32 file version resource. The Win32 file version is not required to be the same as the assembly's version number.
Public class AssemblyFlagsAttribute Specifies a bitwise combination of AssemblyNameFlags flags for an assembly, describing just-in-time (JIT) compiler options, whether the assembly is retargetable, and whether it has a full or tokenized public key. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute Defines additional version information for an assembly manifest.
Public class AssemblyKeyFileAttribute Specifies the name of a file containing the key pair used to generate a strong name.
Public class AssemblyKeyNameAttribute Specifies the name of a key container within the CSP containing the key pair used to generate a strong name.
Public class AssemblyName Describes an assembly's unique identity in full.
Public class AssemblyProductAttribute Defines a product name custom attribute for an assembly manifest.
Public class AssemblyTitleAttribute Specifies a description for an assembly.
Public class AssemblyTrademarkAttribute Defines a trademark custom attribute for an assembly manifest.
Public class AssemblyVersionAttribute Specifies the version of the assembly being attributed.
Public class Binder Selects a member from a list of candidates, and performs type conversion from actual argument type to formal argument type.
Public class ConstructorInfo Discovers the attributes of a class constructor and provides access to constructor metadata.
Public class DefaultMemberAttribute Defines the member of a type that is the default member used by InvokeMember.
Public class FieldInfo Discovers the attributes of a field and provides access to field metadata.
Public class MemberInfo Obtains information about the attributes of a member and provides access to member metadata.
Public class MethodBase Provides information about methods and constructors.
Public class MethodInfo Discovers the attributes of a method and provides access to method metadata.
Public class PropertyInfo Discovers the attributes of a property and provides access to property metadata.

Interfaces

  Interface Description
Public interface IReflect Enables objects to return MemberInfo objects that represent other objects.

Enumerations

  Enumeration Description
Public enumeration AssemblyNameFlags Provides information about an Assembly reference.
Public enumeration BindingFlags Specifies flags that control binding and the way in which the search for members and types is conducted by reflection.
Public enumeration MemberTypes Marks each type of member that is defined as a derived class of MemberInfo.
Public enumeration MethodImplAttributes Specifies flags for the attributes of a method implementation.
Public enumeration ProcessorArchitecture Identifies the processor and bits-per-word of the platform targeted by an executable.
